As the world becomes more driven by information, those who can access
and implement information to accomplish their goals will be

of information will become more important, leading to a greater need
for cryptography and other methods of security for data.

I served as the coordinator of the Florida Student Literacy Network
at the University of Miami. I feel literacy is a basic need of all people, and
I feel strongly about ensuring literacy for all people in America, and the world.
Remember, the Latin word for freedom and to read are the same. There is a
great freedom in being able to read, and furthermore understand what is being
read. The need for control of information is growing, as information itself
becomes more and more valuable.
